Clearwater experienced Tornado Warnings Today – Were you Prepared?
Clearwater Florida – Wow we had a crazy rainy tornado day in the Tampa Bay area today. Jack and the boys were in Tarpon Springs just outside Pasco County today at our Homeschool Co-op and we heard from families and friends about people whose homes were effected. If you’re like me you propably spent at least part of today worried about someone you knew in the hardest hit areas in Tampa Bay.
We are used to preparing for hurricanes regularly here, however, tornadoes give little to no warning so it’s a great reminder to be prepared for Natural disasters that may hit Clearwater families when we least expect it.
In 2003, the Department of Homeland Security launched Ready.gov, a government website aimed at family, business and community disaster readiness.
When You’re at Home in Clearwater Florida are you Disaster Ready?
Now, when the Ready.gov website talks about disaster readiness, it’s referring to more than just physical attacks on the county — it’s talking about natural disasters, too. This includes hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes and floods and these weather-related events impact the different parts of country each year like we experienced here in Clearwater today.
The Ready.gov website is loaded with tips, notes and checklists, including the 3-minute “It Takes Just Three Steps To Get Ready For An Emergency” video featured above.
If you’ve never watched it, take the time to watch it today. Then, test your home’s disaster readiness, take this 10-question quiz. There’s no “passing grade”, per se, but with your own answers, you’ll see where there’s room for improvement.
Disasters can’t be predicted and most of us will face them at least once in our lives. When disaster strikes, therefore, make sure you prepared for it in advance. Protecting your household is a matter of just 3 simple steps. Prepare today and keep your loved ones safe!
